ISIS Claims Responsibility for Paris Attacks

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the coordinated terrorist attacks across Paris on Friday that left 129 dead and 352 wounded, CNN reports.

According to a statement distributed on Saturday by ISIS supporters, eight assailants wore explosive belts and were armed with machine guns during the attacks on six separate Parisian areas. The attacks were a response to insults to the Prophet Mohammed and air strikes by France on ISIS targets, the statement said.

A Syrian passport was found near the body of one of the attackers. Seven of the attackers died in the explosions and the other was killed by authorities, according to police.
